Authentic home cooking from Greece, with US measurements. 
Fanouropita (Greek Walnut and Raisin Spice Cake) – Simple Version with Walnuts and Raisins!
This fanouropita is just like the simple one I’ve shared before (https://cookpad.wasmer.app/gr/r/15432409), but I added raisins and walnuts, plus a few secrets!
It’s very easy to make using just one bowl!
Tips:
1) Mix the orange zest with the sugar first to bring out a stronger orange flavor!
2) Sift the flour, then sprinkle the raisins on top so you don’t need extra flour in another bowl—this way, the raisins get just enough flour to keep them from sticking. Do the same with the walnuts.
3) After measuring and adding the oil to the recipe, turn the measuring cup upside down over the baking pan you’ll use. This way, any extra oil coats the pan, and you can just spread it around—no need for extra oil.
